[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 683415, member: 15032"] Leafy your post made me cry. Thanks for letting me have hope. GoingNorth; my son was prescribed benzos in high school (age 15 the start of our "nightmare") after being in rehab for weed which he was using to self medicate his anxiety. I know he does have horrible social anxiety; have seen it. I was so naive. Had no clue about drugs at all. He immediately abused them. I hid it, locked it up, he'd find it. Oh what I went through with those damned pills. The only thing I didn't do is put it up my butt to hide it (that's a joke but true). He found it no matter what I did. It was insane. The doctor kept giving it to him when he'd promise he would do better and said they helped and I like a dummy I did too. Finally stopped that madness. We then forbade them but he did get a hold of them 2x in the past 2 years and went on a binge each time. Luckily not frequent but he is now not in our home due to last binge and him being 20. He had to go to detox for a few days each time but was okay. Some doctors since have said they would never give anyone that drug period. I agree now but I am now an educated mom! So good you never abused. Not sure what made him abuse. A bad gene? I don't know. [/QUOTE]
